I'm new to the group. Hi everyone. I'm searching for various
treatment options. I'm only 17 and have had problems w/ CTS since I
was 14 (2&1/2 years ago). I wasn't diagnosed 'til last october. I was
then given splints 2 wear 24-7 unless I'm in water. They have helped,
but I still can't remember the last day I didn't have pain. I always
hurt and have a hard time doing simple daily activities. Just holding
onto a broom or any other light object hurts after a few min. It
takes a lot to bend my wrists and I'm not even sure that they can b
completely bent now. The splints r getting old and raggedy so I've
decided it's time 2 find another temporary fix. However, I have 2
keep in mind that I still have many years to live w/ this and my
financial resources r limited so I'm trying to pick CTS aids wisely.
I'd like 2 know what ppl w/ my type of case have used and what type
of results they have had so I know what to look for. Preferably
natural treatments that don't involve medication or surgery. Also, if
u have tried the Q-ray I'd like to know how well it works. If n/e one
could help me find something to give me some pain-free days I'd b
greatly appreciative. Thank you.
